Treasury Secretary Connally publicly urged AFL-CIO President George Meany to join Nixon's Phase II anti inflation plan during a national news conference. Meany postponed immediate reply and scheduled an AFL-CIO executive council meeting for next Tuesday to decide on participation and invited Teamsters and UAW leaders. He warned that White House explanations of Phase II conflicted with labor views and stressed the need for thorough exploration by labor leaders. Connally said Meany might join the Pay Board, a tripartite labor management public panel, though he did not know if Meany would serve. He asserted none of them favor a controlled economy.
